They are usually made of wood (although many Lego-based designs have been produced), and most have a strong machined plastic firing mechanism, consisting of a rotor where bands are hooked, and an escapement mechanism that lets the rotor rotate one position, releasing a rubber band. They form the basis of almost all automatic rubber band gun systems. Escapement rubber band guns are available in semi-realistic shapes, including pistols, rifles, and shotguns. Most repeaters fall into one of two categories:Įscapement rubber band guns are capable of firing at least three rubber bands when fully loaded. These may be impractical against other automatic rubber band guns, but give the user the psychological response of real firearms. To simulate real life repeaters, there have been designs that require users to operate a bolt, pump a pump, pull back a hammer, or rack a slide. They range from step-up-action guns and single rotor semi autos, to removable magazine automatic weapons. Most rubber band guns are of repeating nature, giving the user more firepower than single shot designs. The gun may have more than one clothespin, thereby allowing multiple shots. Its firing mechanism consists solely of a clothespin with a rubber band placed between its jaws. It’s four feet long (!), features a light-up scope, and “accurate sounds” (four blaster sounds, four charging sounds – requires two AAA batteries.) And it has the looks too: fake scratches and wear, just like the real thing.A simple rubber band pistol using a clothespin as its firing mechanismĬlothespin rubber band guns are the simplest form of RBGs, being very easy to produce.
